[WiX-users] Detecting if a Service is installed in WIX
Hi, I am looking to put a check in my wxs file to detect if a windows service is installed and if not fail the installation.

Re: [WiX-users] Feature question
yes, features can be used that way. You can also have a feature you don't show for your common elements that is always installed, or you can reference your common elements in both of your features. It'll work either way.

The only difference is that 4 executables are slightly different (also named differently) - all other files are the same. The 4 executables also differ in their menu desktop shortcuts. Could we use the feature element to allow our users to pick either Version A or Version B at install time or are features better suited to always install just one base product and then allow for selection of additional pieces?

[WiX-users] Custom installation in Wix Patch
In the wix major upgrade, I have a set of features and the end user has the option to install either typical, custom or complete features. In case of wix patch release, is it possible to give the user the same option of typical, custom or complete installation type. Else during the deployment can wix patch detect which features to be deployed based on the installation done in a system. i.e if a system is installed with typical installation then the wix patch update only those components that belong to typical installation. and if a system has a custom installation with only feature X then the patch update should update only those components that belong to feature X.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding a new dependent file to shared component without breaking component rules
When we release side by side versions of products we have to reversion/relocate(re-guid if com) all our shared components. e.g. All file major versions are increased and we install into different locations. All com components have version dependent naming and are reworked to not clash with previous versions. This may not be an option if it is a third party com component though, but there is the potential to use registry free com but this does have limitations. %commonfiles%\my company\product1shared %commonfiles%\my company\product2shared %programfiles%\my company\product\product1 % programfiles %\my company\product\product2 If you are not dealing with com you can load your dependencies dynamically from the new common folder in the later version of the software. Beyond that you are getting into bad practices. Could you install the dependent dll (or shared components) in a separate msi that doesn't get uninstalled automatically on product2 removal. Or some horrendous custom action that puts the dependent dll back if you are removing it and will break product1.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Adding a new dependent file to shared component without breaking component rules Thanks to all for the feedback. I do agree with the consensus that Product1 is broken and should be fixed with an upgrade or patch. However, in the real world, that isn't going to happen in this case. As I said, Product1 and Product2 are side-by-side installs of the same application, where there is separate Product for each major version shipped. So, in my example Product1 is really a placeholder representing 12 different Products (which then all have their own minor version history). I know I'll never get the resources to make the fix for all these versions, unfortunate situation where money wins over perfection. At least I understand (correctly!) the compromise we're making. (And yeah, we do have a service plan for all our earlier versions for, say, security issues, but this issue won't be high enough up the list to trigger one of those. I will keep a record and put in the fix if we do create a new version of one of the existing Product1's.) Thanks again for the useful input. Cheers, Michael Ps.

Re: [WiX-users] Custom theme in Bundle - how to add xml and wxl
I am doing this in my WixStaBA. The error implies that your project file structure is not: Project Dir\Resource\RtfTheme.xml and RtfTheme.wxl One thing that caused a problem for me initially was that I used a folder name Resources but used Resource in the Wxs file. A simple typo as some examples use Resource and others use Resources. Eventually I renamed my customized files, but in the Payload element they need to use the hardcoded name of thm.xml and thm.wxl. I also had difficulty getting it to use a mylogo.png file so I just renamed my file the default name. Here is my code if it helps, even though I am using the HyperlinkLargeLicense varant: My folder tree is: Project Dir Resources logo.png QDthm.wxl QDthm.xml 1031\QDthm.wxl 1033\QDthm.wxl (note this is same file as in \Resources, but needed here for language detection code) etc. When I start changing the layout for specific languages (later today?) I will also add a copy of QDthm.xml and logo.png to each language subfolder (even if I do not plan to make any change to the png file).

Re: [WiX-users] Custom theme in Bundle - how to add xml and wxl
Regarding this comment: I was looking at wixstdba.vcxproj in WiX source and these files are included as None and with flag CopyToOutputSubDirectory, but we don't have this option in C# (or we do?). My bundle project is a WiX bootstapper project,, not C#. Originally I did not add any of these files into the Project itself, but I had the project tree as indicated above. Later I added these files into my VS2010 project so I could edit them in the IDE rather than using an external editor. For each file set the 'Build Action' to None. My 'Copy to OutPut Dir' is set to DoNotCopy (which was the default). I only have my bundle.exe in the output folder (and this stuff is all embedded inside of it). -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Custom-theme-in-Bundle-how-to-add-xml-and-wxl-tp7588021p7588025.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!

[WiX-users] How not to uninstall a file?
Hi all, my problem is this: I have to deal with MSIs that are out in the wild (created with Wise); our next MSIs will be created with Wix since Wise doesn't exist anymore. These old MSIs have installed an inifile that needs to survive a major upgrade coming from the new Wix based MSI. From decompiling an old MSI I conclude that it contained a custom DLL used to make a backup of said inifile and then copy it back into place at then end of the upgrade. Will I have to do the same or is there (much preferred) a way to achieve this without a custom dll?

[WiX-users] WixStdBA - LoadBootstrapperBA changes m_fPrereq
As I step through the Wix 3.8.722 code I observe in:
src\ext\BalExtension\Wixstdba\WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.cpp
at line 916
LoadBootstrapperBAFunctions();
if (m_fPrereq)
{
hr = ParsePrerequisiteInformationFromXml(pixdManifest);
BalExitOnFailure(hr, Failed to read prerequisite
information.);
}
else
{
hr = ParseBootrapperApplicationDataFromXml(pixdManifest);
BalExitOnFailure(hr, Failed to read bootstrapper application
data.);
}
Prior to the call to LoadBootstrapperBAFunctions WinDbg shows m_fPrereq as
undefined. On entry to this function it is set to zero and when the
function returns control to the next line (the if statement) m_fPrereq is a
large positive number 1753485088 (but it is set to several other values as I
step through LoadBootstrapperBAFunctions. This is true even when there is
no BAFunctions.dll specified.
As a result the first part of the if statement is always executed and
ParseBootrappApplicationDataFromXML is always skipped.
1) Is this correct logic? It just seems wrong for a
WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.HyperlinkLargeLicense BA.
2) is ParseBootrappApplicationDataFromXML misspelled (missing the s)?

Re: [WiX-users] Wix and backward compatibility with Visual Studio setup project.
but I wouldn't encourage this solution until the actual problem has been
found. The common issues with failing upgrades that result in two
Programs/Features entries seem to be:
1. A per-user install won't upgrade a per-system install, and vice versa.
2. Forgetting something like a majorupgrade element or
RemoveExistingProducts action.
3. A failing RemoveExistingProducts sequenced after InstallFinalize that
rolls back and leaves both old and new entries on the system.
As always, a verbose log is the diagnostic.

Re: [WiX-users] Use a TargetProperty in a Verb in a ProgId, for file association
I do not feel qualified to answer your question, which is why I did not comment earlier. I am not using heat (or rather I used it to make my first wxs and then decided to do a lot of editing) and I got the file association stuff working a few weeks ago, for the first time. I started from a sample that used ProgId but had issues with that approach. Generally I try to stick to the one resource per component model, but for me to get it to work I put the Extension elements as childs of the same component as the target file. So maybe there is another approach, but here is my code: Fragment ComponentGroup Id=QD Component Directory=AppDir File KeyPath=yes Source=$(var.SourceDir)AppDir\App.exe Shortcut Id=StartShortcut Name=App Description=!(loc.ApplicationDescription) Directory=ShortcutDir WorkingDirectory=AppDir Icon=AppIcon.exe IconIndex=0 Advertise=yes/ Shortcut Id=DeskShortcut Name=App Description=!(loc.ApplicationDescription) Directory=DesktopFolder WorkingDirectory=AppDir Icon=QuickdiscIcon.exe Advertise=yes/ /File Extension Id=abc Advertise=yes Verb Id=open Command=!(loc.ContextMenuOpen) Argument=quot;%1quot; / ?if 1=0?

Re: [WiX-users] WixStdBA - LoadBootstrapperBA changes m_fPrereq
Here's what I remember about 3.7, I haven't used 3.8. The m_fPrereq variable
is associated with a managed bootstrapper. m_fPrereq is essentially a boolean
specifying whether the magic Burn variable WixMbaPrereqPackageId is set (that
variable specifies the PackageId for .NET). Since you're not using a managed
bootstrapper, you probably shouldn't be setting that variable (I didn't have
any problems with WixStdBA in 3.7 even with that set, though).

Subject: [WiX-users] WixStdBA - LoadBootstrapperBA changes m_fPrereq
As I step through the Wix 3.8.722 code I observe in:
src\ext\BalExtension\Wixstdba\WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.cpp
at line 916
LoadBootstrapperBAFunctions();
if (m_fPrereq)
{
hr = ParsePrerequisiteInformationFromXml(pixdManifest);
BalExitOnFailure(hr, Failed to read prerequisite
information.);
}
else
{
hr = ParseBootrapperApplicationDataFromXml(pixdManifest);
BalExitOnFailure(hr, Failed to read bootstrapper application
data.);
}
Prior to the call to LoadBootstrapperBAFunctions WinDbg shows m_fPrereq as
undefined. On entry to this function it is set to zero and when the
function returns control to the next line (the if statement) m_fPrereq is a
large positive number 1753485088 (but it is set to several other values as I
step through LoadBootstrapperBAFunctions. This is true even when there is
no BAFunctions.dll specified.
As a result the first part of the if statement is always executed and
ParseBootrappApplicationDataFromXML is always skipped.
1) Is this correct logic? It just seems wrong for a
WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.HyperlinkLargeLicense BA.
2) is ParseBootrappApplicationDataFromXML misspelled (missing the s)?

[WiX-users] How not to uninstall a config file?
Hi all, my next problem is this: I have to deal with MSIs that are out in the wild (created with Wise); our next MSIs will be created with Wix since Wise doesn't exist anymore. These old MSIs have installed an inifile that needs to survive a major upgrade coming from the new Wix based MSI. From decompiling an old MSI I conclude that it contained a custom DLL used to make a backup of said inifile and then copy it back into place at then end of the upgrade. Will I have to do the same or is there (much preferred) a way to achieve this without a custom dll? TIA, Kai PS: Thanks again, Blair for all your help! -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite! It's a free troubleshooting tool designed for production.

[WiX-users] Pending Reboot
Is there a quick way to check this? I'd like to warn my users that a restart is needed before they try to install my software and it fails. I'm using the customBA so I'd like to get access in the RootViewModel.
